Water plants can bring peacefulness

Water Gardens are an
exquisite decorative feature for any home or business. These relaxing pools of
water add a sense of tranquility by adding the smooth flood of water and the
dazzling color of water plants. For some of these water gardens fish, frogs and
even snails add to the beauty of the pond. By adding a beautiful for of animal
life to the scene, however what truly makes these areas pop out is the plants.
Picking the right plants to grow in or around the water garden is essential in
creating the correct atmosphere. For plants in the water, lilies or reeds are
often used. Lilies provide a natural cover for animals in the pond as well as
beautiful colorful flowers in the summer months. Some types of lilies and other
plants that grow on top of the water grow extremely fast and must be cared for
in order to keep them from covering every square inch of the waters surface.
Seeds of any type, such as bamboo, river
cane, or cattails, provide cover for animals as well as places to spawn when
the times comes. These tend to grow in the water or the moist surrounding soil. For water gardens
with waterfalls and rocky outcrops, plants such as blue flag iris should be
used as they tend to pop from the surrounding scenery with their dazzling blue
blooms. Water Plantain is another great plant that can grow in the surrounding
wet soil of the pond, this plant provides a small leafy bush to the garden. Some
leafy plants like watercress also entice animals like ducks to come to the
water garden to feed. Adding in driftwood into the locations will also help
with creating the scene intended, driftwood placed near the water surrounded by
grassy water plants
often helps to invoke the nature of a quiet bog. Utilizing certain plants
within the water garden will not only help animals within the garden to grow
and to be cared for, but will also create a scenic beauty.
